We hope you have all had a lovely week.
In English this week we have been looking at a Roman narrative adventure story. The children have begun planning their own. In maths we have continued to look at Place Value - rounding to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000.
Please remember that with the onset of colder weather, all children need a warm and waterproof coat at all times.
WHOLE SCHOOL SUMDOG ESSEX COMPETITION
Calling all of you amazing mathematicians!
You have been entered into the Sumdog Essex Competition. Taking place 30 September - 7 October
I will be monitoring how well each class is doing. The winning class will be announced in the school newsletter.
Let's show our Down Hall community what great mathematicians we are!
Good luck.
Harvest Collection
This year we will continue to support Rochford Extended Services with our Harvest collection. Donations will be boxed up and distributed by them to the children and families that need them most within our own local community.
As a Gold Level Rights Respecting School, we do our best to advocate for Children’s Rights and for sustainability. Articles 24 and 27 state that:
“Every child has the right to the best possible health and a good standard of living”
If you can send in any non-perishable items before Wednesday 19th October that would be fabulous and you can find a full list of suggested items here. In school we will celebrate Harvest during the week of 17th October with some learning in class and by singing our favourite Harvest song in assembly. Please enjoy having a go at the Harvest Samba here and thanks for any contributions you feel able to make.
NSPCC’s Speak Out Stay Safe Programme
RRS Article 19: Children have the right to be safe
As a Rights Respecting School we are committed to keeping children safe and we are happy to be taking part in the NSPCC’s safeguarding programme in school. This programme helps children to recognise abuse in a child friendly way and encourages them to speak out to a trusted Duty Bearer.
In school, children will watch an assembly delivered by Ant and Dec and then take part in follow up discussions in class. Please read the full details on the NSPCC letter here where you will find further links and resources that you can use at home to educate and support your child. We urge you to take a look at these.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to pop in and see us.

Must Do
- Reading: Remember 15-20 minutes at least 3 times a week is super important. You will have taken your Reading Record home for your parents to comment on. These will be collected by teachers and checked from time to time. Please make sure you bring your book back when you are finished and your teacher can change it for you. As soon as you are ready you can take a quiz at school. Remember that you need 3x 100% scores to move up a level.
- High Frequency Words - Learn the words in your Reading Records. Practice spelling them out loud and writing them down.
- Times table practice - this week we are looking at 3's. Please practice these as we do in school.
Can Do
- Continue logging on to TTRS, Sumdog - your logins are stuck in the front cover of your Reading Records.
- Recycling week - we would love to see you make a creation using any recyclable materials. Be creative and have fun! Please bring your creations into school so we can see your efforts!
If you have any issues or questions, please come and see us at the end of the day.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mrs Hurley, Miss Harvey & Mr Greenfield
